Portland, Oregon, USA

Did a solo trip after a long, vigorous training.  It was definitely the perfect place to acclimate and decompress...and I got a few good shots in. :)

McWay Falls, Big Sur, California, USA

It’s amazing how much of difference a little bit of touching up in Adobe Lightroom does to photos.  Lately I’ve been “going back in time” just to see how differently my photos would have turned out. It really helps bring out the vividness that I saw in person. 

Yosemite National Forest, California, US

It’s been so long since I lived in California, but when I look back at all the photos I’ve taken before exploring the world I realize how good I had it.  One more year until I return for my sister’s wedding.  This time, I’ll be better equipped for an extended camping trip.

World Club Dome 2017

It’s been a minute guys!

After a long period of a broken desktop and then a whole bunch of schooling, I finally had time to put together this long overdue montage! To be honest I think I’m getting addicted to the music festivals - I already have five lined up for my bucket list of events that I *must* go in the next few years.  Anyway, here’s the video and I hope you enjoy it!

Kuang Si Waterfalls One day I'd like to visit the country where my family came from.

Beautiful video! Thailand is definitely on the list of places to visit. ❤

Ultra Korea 2016

Finally put together the footage from Ultra Korea Music Festival 2016 this last summer with the exception of the first day because my battery died prematurely (fail!).  All the footage is Day 2 and Day 3 and I loved every moment of it.

I attempt to buy Tomorrowland tickets this upcoming Saturday in hopes that I can score some, but if not there’s always Ultra Europe in Croatia! Not a bad backup plan <3

I can’t wait until the warmer weather comes around to do some Island hopping!

One of my favorite photos taken while exploring the Trappist grounds.

We were on a hunt for some Trappist Brewed beer and drove two hours to reach this wonderful place. So much history, and delicious cases of beer to take home. 

Luxembourg by TheNomadPanda Via Flickr: Luxembourg

I wasn’t sure of the name for this statue, but it looked really cool in the middle of the busy Christmas Market while wandering around Louxembourg.

The Hotel View by TheNomadPanda

The view outside my balcony at the Key Bridge Mariott. It was a great way to start off my chunk of leave between moving from one continent to the other. The beautiful sunset left a wonderful silhouette of the capitol building off in the distance.

China Walls by TheNomadPanda Via Flickr: A tucked away cliff jumping spot - in Oahu, Hawaii

On one of my last days, I visited the China Walls. Warning: Don’t go here unless you feel comfortable climbing rocks and aren’t swayed by water as easily.  This place can be pretty dangerous with bad timing, but the day I went was extremely pleasant.  The swells came up at least three feet to the bottom ledge and sometimes to the top ledge! There’s also a “swirly pool” to the right that can get pretty gnarly. I didn’t go into the water since because of my swimming ability, but I heard there’s some pretty cool snorkeling to do around there.
